India, who won the opening test in Jamaica, were 94 for
three in their second innings, having been set 180 to win, when the players
shook hands and agreed to an early finish after tea on the fifth day.
West Indies saved the match after making 332 in their second
innings, Chanderpaul finishing with an unbeaten 116 after putting on a 65-run
partnership with Fidel Edwards (30) for the ninth wicket.
Chanderpaul celebrated becoming the most capped West Indian
in tests with his 23rd ton in a 133 tests.
Edwards then took the new ball and struck with the first
delivery - trapping Abhinav Mukund leg before wicket.
Ravi Rampaul struck twice to get rid off Murali Vijay (45)
and Suresh Raina (8) before the game ended when it was clear India were no
longer chasing the target.
India's next international duty is a tour of England
starting later this month.
